18 Barton's funeral

Grande's East Basement, Morgue.

Zach had something to ask Mr. Ford, and in the same way, Mr. Ford had something to explain to Zach - Zach said that the 'corpses' were living people, and now was the time to prove it.

More than a dozen 'corpses' were lined up on the ground, and under the overnight thaw, they had risen to normal temperature. Zach motioned for Ford to feel it.

"This is the 'corpse' you dragged back last night?" Ford looked at his body all over the ground, instinctively covering his nose, but put it down halfway, because there was no smell of rotting corpses here.

Zach nodded. Some of these bodies are incomplete, some have no arms, some have missing pieces of flesh on their thighs, and some are ...... Anyway, it's quite a disgusting picture.

Mr. Ford's face twitched on one side, and his tone was a little excited, because he didn't know where to vent his anger, so he just found a little way to vent his emotions, "This is what xx (shorty) secretly sold behind my back!

"Don't. Zach shook his head, "He saved your life." If he hadn't sold the carcass, I wouldn't have come to you at night. ”

"If you hadn't run to me last night, I wouldn't have been shot at all!" Ford glared at Zach, but quickly shook his head, looking too lazy to speak. No hurry, will explain later.

Zach glanced at Hamilton, who nodded modestly and said, "The side effects of 'Xiaobai'." "Don't be surprised, although Hamilton is investigating the missing mayor's secretary Gina, Gina successfully disappeared by pretending to be dead by 'Xiaobai'. It is inevitable that Hamilton's investigation and the 'Xiaobai' case will come together, and "the physical function caused by the 'Xiaobai' will become more and more serious until ......," he said, glancing at Ford, "people will never wake up again." To humans, they are no different from dead. ”

The reason for the deliberate emphasis on human beings is that for human beings, the cessation of bodily functions and the loss of the ability to live are indeed no different from death, but for aliens, the difference is very large. At least the 'resurrection' that Zack had planned to hand over these 'corpses' to Wes is impossible, because their souls are still in a state of detachment from the body and not completely gone. Zach gives them blood, or makes vampires.

Zach picked up, "For reasons you don't need to know. He said to Ford, "I can't save them like I saved you, but you should have found out that they're not corrupt — they're still alive." ”

Ford snorted gloomily, just plain irritation. Zack's hypocrisy was sometimes frustrating, and he honestly told Ford what was wrong with him as a vampire!

Andrew...... By the way, the kid still follows Zack. Zach has no intention of fulfilling the responsibility of the babysitter neighbor's son, but Andrew seems to have made up his mind today to fulfill the role of being taken care of by the neighbor, hanging behind Zach at all times. At this time, his opening startled Ford, "I can stuff the souls of these people back~"

Ford seemed to have only now noticed that there was a child next to them, and before he could speak, Andrew had already burrowed into the middle of the legs of the three adults in front of the 'body' on the ground.

"It didn't work, I've already tried. The voice was made by Sam in the thimble on Zack's finger, with a taunt that he didn't want to be compared professionally, "You may be a gifted child, but sorry, soul control is my specialty." ”

Andrew turned his head, his height determined that his gaze was just right to reach the thimble on Zach's finger, "That's your wrong method, the focus is not the soul ~ it's the body ~"

Mr. Ford was already confused by a child suddenly speaking on such an occasion, and now he didn't know who Andrew was talking to, his face wrinkled, and he stared at Zach: "Do you Grande have an ordinary human?!"

"Yes. Zach tilted his head and motioned to the south, "The ex-convict employee in the living quarters." ”

Ford shut up and couldn't talk.

Hamilton, on the other hand, seemed interested in Andrew's words, "You say the body. ”

Andrew nodded, "Mommy's wolf pack alpha used to serve, and he has a special ...... Hobby. Andrew tilted his head as cute, "He's going to retrace what he's done after the full moon is over." ”

Ford now thinks he's been so smart and keeps his mouth shut. If you don't shut up, where do you start asking about what you're hearing now?

Maintaining a vampire's racism against werewolves, Hamilton naturally mocked, "Hmph, a bunch of brutes eating and drinking Lazar together, what else can there be." ”

Andrew smiled, "Hahaha~" After laughing, "Mommy's job in the full moon cycle is to preserve the trajectory of the wolf pack's activities~ including saving some creatures that have been attacked or eaten by the wolves......" Andrew probably deliberately, his little head deliberately leaned towards Mr. Ford, with an innocent face, "Sometimes, ordinary humans~"

Before Mr. Ford's face turned pale, Andrew had already approached the nearest 'corpse', "Mommy stopped the state of those creatures that encountered the wolves, so that when Alpha retraced the trajectory of the wolf's body, he could recall the scene when he saw the intact preserved scene." ”

Andrew moved, his fingers touching the body on the ground and quickly tracing the witchcraft incantation, "Corpses are easy, they can be preserved by the usual freezing. But humans, especially those who were attacked by wolves but did not die, are very troublesome~"

Hamilton reacted quickly, "You mean a werewolf candidate who was deliberately injured by Alpha but didn't kill and wanted to be absorbed into the wolf pack." ”

Andrew turned into a witchcraft and nodded, "Not every human can stay calm after finding out that they are attacked by monsters, and calmly accept that the future will also become the fate of monsters~ Some people's reactions will be fierce and may expose the secrets of the wolves~ So, Mommy's way of dealing with it is to hand over these humans to Alpha to decide." ”

"You mean that your mother imprisoned these humans and waited for the alpha to fall?" Hamilton frowned, vampires were naturally curious about how werewolves were inherited.

To be reasonable, vampires are worse than werewolves, but vampires win by one point - vampires don't force out of control once a month to become monsters that are a threat to all living things. Vampires who can always rely on a standard human appearance and mingle in human society have gained much better living space than werewolves.

It is said that the werewolf race, which must die once a month, must have been noticed by humans and killed long ago. But it still exists so well, it seems that it is the credit of those wolf pack wizards.

"It would be nice if this was the case~ Mommy doesn't have to bother so much~" Andrew smiled, "I said it, the alpha that Mommy served is sick, and he likes to go back to what the wolf body did, so ah~ He has to figure out the reason why his wolf body attacked those humans~ He asked Mommy to save the situation of the wolf body attacking those humans~"

Zach pursed his lips, not knowing what to say-

I still remember a year ago, James was found in the woods by Benjamin's wolf body. 'Benjamin' said that he had discovered James, but deliberately decided not to touch him because 'Benjamin' believed that James had the potential to become an alpha, and 'Benjamin' did not want to create a descendant who was a threat to his alpha identity.

Looking at Andrew Mother Munn's Alpha in this way, he is not sick, but a leader who fully knows what he is doing.

Andrew continued, "In order to preserve the situation of humans being attacked by wolves, Mommy created a witchcraft to stop the normal physiological processes of living beings. "Andrew's witchcraft has been performed, and there is only one thing left, "Humans who are attacked by Alpha but do not die, their souls will die, but their bodies will be healed, and they will become containers for nurturing dead souls and becoming wolves." The death of the soul cannot be stopped, but the process of the body being healed, Mommy can stop. ”

The red spell painted on the 'corpse' flashed for a moment, and then there was no visual change. At least not in Ford's eyes.

Zach raised an eyebrow and glanced at Andrew, "The soul, reunited with the body, what did you do?"

"I terminated the normal physiological process of this body~" Andrew was very proud, looking up with a little face~

Wait a minute. Isn't the normal process of these 'corpse'-like bodies supposed to be decay?

Oh, wrong. The normal process of the body that has taken 'Xiaobai' is physiological stagnation.

What Andrew terminated was stagnation. So, these bodies, which were supposed to be alive, recovered...... Live!

Hamilton's face instantly became vigilant, staring at the smug Andrew-

This is something to be wary of. Witchcraft, as I have long been told, is a technique invented by Papa Midnight to manipulate the laws of the world. Control souls, modify creatures...... It's amazing, but it's just amazing. Alter the normal physiological processes of living things?

Predict what will happen if Andrew paints those incantations all over Hamilton?

Kindness...... The physiology of vampires for immortality has been terminated??

Zach was a little strange at this point, wondering why he didn't feel threatened. Zach patted Hamilton, "Would you allow a wizard to scribble on you for a minute?" "Yes, this spell casting time is too long, with this time, any vampire can dismember his enemy a dozen times. However, although this was said by Zach, Zach himself did not think that this was the reason why he did not feel threatened.

The corners of Hamilton's mouth twitched, "No." "A false alarm.

Andrew gave additional comfort, "If you're going to heal him, hurry up, this witchcraft won't last long......" yawned, and besides, his voice began to weaken, and his little body began to shake, "Mommy uses this witchcraft every time...... It's going to be a week's sleep......" was hugged by Zach.

As if instinctively looking for something to rely on, Andrew's body writhed in Zack's arms, and his breathing completely calmed down.

Zach pursed his lips, "Hamilton, send him to the bedroom." "Hand Andrew over.

Hamilton resisted a little, and although he eventually took over, he said, "This witchcraft can't fall into the hands of the Black Witch!" Remember how rebellious the Black Witch's talent for witchcraft was.

Zach didn't respond to anything, and the reason was that Zach himself didn't know why he wasn't intimidated by this witchcraft.

There's no time for Zach to think about why. Hamilton carried Andrew upstairs, and Zach looked at Ford, whose face was pale the whole time, signaled 'I'm going to start', raised his hand and punctured his fingers, and squatted towards the body that had been terminated by Andrew's normal physiological process.

Ford's body stirred up and subconsciously pressed his stomach. Last night, Zach put his hand on his own. However, last night, his own blood took up too much attention, and now, he saw clearly that one of the important steps for Zach to save people was that Zach himself had to bleed.

The body lying down, the missing parts (sold to Harrison) began to grow, and other than that, there was no special visual effect. After all, what difference can it make if a 'corpse' that seems to have fallen asleep has been restored to a real sleep.

The body that was pierced by Zack's fingers suddenly raised its legs and turned over, hugged the 'body' next to him, and rubbed the guy who was hugged like a dream. Zach also took the opportunity to withdraw his finger, "He's fine." ”

Ford opened his mouth several times in a row, his face changed several times, and finally he asked, "What are you going to do with these people?" ”

"Give it to James. His partner, Weiss, is investigating the 'Little White' case. "Andrew kind of saved Zach's plan.

Ford took a deep breath, "The guy who shot me last night." The conversation returned to the accounts he had just given Zach and Hamilton, "He signed a long contract with me. "The content is that he will regularly send corpses to me, and I need to provide him with a legal death certificate, fabricate the origin of the corpse, and complete the transfer according to his request." ”

"Barton's only functioning funeral home is doing illegal trading. Hamilton said, "I'm not surprised at all. ”

"Last night, he came to deliver the bodies to their destination. Ford's face darkened, and he didn't look at Hamilton, "When he saw James Lance appear, he thought I had called the police." ”

Zach was a little sorry, "Ford, why are you doing this kind of thing?"

"Do you really still have the face to ask?" Ford's mood shifted, the bad kind, to Zach, "What is Grande?" to Hamilton, "What is your Allen?" and finally pointed to himself, "I used to wonder if I wasn't fit for the job I've done all my life, and now I know that I'm not competing with the same people at all!"

Zach waved his hand, "Our three funeral homes in Patton have never been competitive. ”

Ford came out with a speechless look and didn't answer.

Instead, Hamilton pursed his lips and whispered, "Grande and Allen are not in competition either. Just looks like it. "I knew that this was too false, so I gave up the explanation and resumed my volume," I found the mayor's secretary Gina's personal expenditure records, one of which was a transaction with the person from yesterday, and I think Gina's 'little white' was obtained from him. He's my only clue. Frowning, "I killed him to save James." ”

Zach: "His soul still has some information. Did you find anything when you went to Mary's Chapel last night?" "Death in Patton's environment is definitely not the end of information acquisition, and the only vampire who has such a good relationship with demons is Patton's family. So Zach asked.

"Yes, yes, but not much, not as useful as keeping that guy alive. Hamilton shook his head helplessly, "He's just a node in a chain of action, and now he's broken." Looking at Zach, "the whole chain was shaken. ”

Zach can accept the result, "Then we'll use the information we can get......" Zach didn't finish, Ford seemed to say to himself, "I, what the hell am I involved in......" After all, aside from the soul and other things that Zack won't answer even if he asks, the mayor is present in this conversation. Ford, a little cowardly.

Hamilton didn't allow Ford to go down now, pointing at Zach, "He's the one who saved your life." I was the one who helped you kill that person. "It means that you are not involved in some ghost incident, you are still in it, and the core is still very core in it," cooperate, or break with our two families. You choose. ”

Zack, I agree with Hamilton's advancement at this time, but I have to say that Zach feels that Hamilton's wording can be a little softer, "It's rare that our three funeral homes in Barton have a common goal, let's work together for a good time, how about it." ”

Ford looked at Hamilton, then at Zach, and picked Zach, "Okay, okay." "I don't have a choice.
